^_^ But in this case, it’s a little more magical than is usual. One day, Arthur, looking for a psychometric to help him protect the city from a powerful relic that has been rumored to be on the way across the ocean, finds Rory, and together, they do what they can to avoid a tidal wave reaching New York City.Īnd they might just fall for each other a bit along the way. Since his magic is known to have some powerful side-effects, mostly the ability to pull him into an object’s history for countless days or weeks, Rory has put himself more or less into seclusion, doing work for his aunt at her antique shop by finding counterfeits. This is the story of Rory Brodigan, a twenty-year-old psychometric (he can see the history of the objects he touches) and Arthur ‘Ace’ Kenzie, the son of a wealthy family, who uses his money and influence to hunt and protect the world from magical relics. Great.”Ĭame on to him like the desperate, sex-starved tart I am. Got zozzled till I blacked out so I really couldn’t say. To a Harlem juice joint to try my first illegal hooch. One that proves impossible to break-even when Arthur sacrifices himself to keep Rory safe and Rory must risk everything to save him. And as Arthur coaxes him out of seclusion, a magical and emotional bond begins to form. But with the city’s fate hanging in the balance, he can’t force himself to say no.īeing with Arthur is dangerous, but Rory’s ever-growing attraction to him begins to make him brave. To protect himself, he’s become a recluse, redirecting his magic to find counterfeit antiques. Rory Brodigan’s gift comes with great risk.

This time, in order to succeed, he needs a powerful psychometric…and the only one available has sworn off his abilities altogether.

When an amulet with the power to control the tides is shipped to New York, he must intercept it before it can be used to devastating effects. Because who can resist prohibition-era M/M romance? Nobody, probably.Īrthur Kenzie’s life’s work is protecting the world from the supernatural relics that could destroy it. This was one that I picked up on the description alone.
